Thank you for
considering adoption of a shelter animal Please note that although
adoption applications are considered in the order they are received,
the pet is not automatically approved to the first request. We try to
match pets and people to find the placement that works best for
everyone. Additionally, we keep a list of people looking for certain
types/breeds of animals and may call them before considering new
requests for a particular animal. All persons living in the household
should be involved in choosing a pet. The primary caretaker must
approve the pet selection in person.

The submission and approval of your home does not guarantee you
will get the animal being considered. You may end up choosing a
different animal. The first approved applicant to complete the
transaction by paying all required fees and arranging for pick up of
the animal will be the successful adopter. Pre payment of non-refundable
amount equal to 1/2 the adoption fee is acceptable means to hold a pet.
Hold fee is transferrable to another pet if a diffent pet is chosen.
Good luck with your potential adoption!!
